Words by Woody Guthrie
Music by Billy Bragg and Wilco
From Mermaid Avenue Volume 3
C#
Paul Robeson, he's the man
F#
That faced the Ku Klux Klan
C#
On hollow grove's golfing ground
G#
His words come sounding
C#
And all around him there
F#
To jump and clap and cheer
C# G#
I sent the best, the best I had
C#
My thirty thousand
C#
The Klansman leader said
F#
That Paul would lose his head
C#
When thirty five thousand vets
G#
Broke up that concert
C#
But less than four thousand came
F#
To side with the Klan
C# G#
But around Paul's lonesome oak
C#
My thirty thousand
C#
D# beersoaked brassy band
F#
Did snortle round the grounds
C#
Four hundred noblest souls
G#
Westchester's manhood
C#
And they looked exactly like
F#
The fleas on a tiger's back
C# G#
Lost fish in the waters of
C#
My thirty thousand
C#
When Paul had sung and gone
F#
And the kids and babies home
C#
Cops came with guns and clubs
G#
And they clubbed and beat 'em
C#
Well, I'd hate to be a cop
F#
Caught with a bloody stick
C# G#
'Cause you can't bash the brains
C#
Out of thirty thousand
C#
Each eye you tried to gouge
F#
Each skull you tried to crack
C#
Has a thousand, thousand friends
G#
Around this green grass
C#
If you furnish the skull someday
F#
I'll pass out the clubs and guns
C# G#
To the billion hands that love
C#
My thirty thousand
C#
Each wrinkle on your face
F#
I know it at a glance
C#
You cannot run and hide
C#
Nor duck nor dodge them
C#
And your carcass and your deeds
F#
Will fertilize the seeds
C# G#
Of the men that stood to guard
C#
My thirty thousand
C# G#
Of the men that stood to guard
C#
My thirty thousand
